随着朋友网络日益庞大，Facebook 用户可能会忘记他们在 Facebook 上发布的内容到底是与谁分享的。当 Facebook 在 2010 年夏天发布新的隐私界面时，他们简化了隐私控制；然而，基于组的权限仍然是细粒度隐私控制的核心。为了使用这些细粒度的控件，用户必须能够准确且有用地指定朋友组。在一系列 46 次半结构化访谈中，我们调查了参与者如何使用四种不同的分组方法对他们的在线朋友进行分组。我们的结果表明，这些不同的机制改变了用户创建的策略和群组，先验创建的群组需要进一步细化才能充分解决隐私决策，并且用户正在调整他们的在线行为以避免在当前 Facebook 界面中指定群组的需要。我们最后提出了几项建议，这些建议将允许用户改进基于组的访问控制。
With increasingly large friend networks, Facebook users may be losing sight of exactly with whom they are sharing content they post to Facebook. When Facebook released a new privacy interface in sum- mer 2010 they simplified privacy controls; however, group-based permis- sions remain at the core of fine-grained privacy control. In order to use these fine-grained controls, users must be able to accurately and usefully specify friend groups. In a series of 46 semi-structured interviews, we investigated how participants group their online friends using four differ- ent grouping methods. Our results show that these different mechanisms alter the strategies and groups that users create, that groups created a priori need further refinement before they can adequately address pri- vacy decisions, and that users are adapting their online behavior to avoid the need to specify groups in the current Facebook interface. We con- clude with several recommendations that would allow users improved group-based access control.
